Reports suggest that the five-piece performed a set in front of the aquarium's giant underwater window for an episode which will air later this year.

Savage family actors Danny Mac (Dodger), Abi Phillips (Liberty) and Joe Tracini (Dennis) were among the regulars involved in the filming.

Blue Planet spokesperson Rebecca Wade told the Ellesmere Port Pioneer: "Obviously we're not allowed to give away any of the plotlines, but they did film a number of scenes at a variety of different locations throughout the aquarium and everyone seemed very pleased with the end results.

"It was great to be able to play host to such a well-loved soap opera which is filmed so locally to us.

"Hollyoaks have filmed here in the past, but this is the first time they have done such a major storyline with us and it's also a great showcase for the aquarium and its displays."

Hollyoaks fans saw Daytona Lights leave the village at the beginning of January, as they moved to London for their big break.
